There's already been plenty of media slobbering over "[iu]America's Dad-in-Chief[/u]" Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. USA Today reported that Emhoff "embodies (and redefines) masculinity." Catherine Rampell wrote in the Washington Post that Emhoff's title should be "progressive sex symbol." This was all after the story had broken that, in his first marriage, Emhoff had gotten the nanny pregnant.
The Daily Mail reported on October 2 that progressive sex symbol Emhoff had forcefully slapped an ex-girlfriend for flirting with another man.
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough took his turn slobbering over Emhoff and asked him how he deals with the "incredibly crude and lewd suggestions."
Awww, how sweet ... Castrated Joe feels the burning need to simp for an abusive misogynist and give him a tongue-bath. BWHA HA HA HA!!!
Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) ~ Telling word choice:
Second Gentleperson Doug Emhoff calls the allegations that he hit his ex-girlfriend in the face “a distraction.”
That’s not a denial. Doug is a lawyer. His decision to pivot when asked about DV was a deliberate decision.

"It's all a distraction."
Ah, we see ... so, the factual accounts of your past reprehensible "indiscretions" are inconvenient "distractions" from your deceptive quest for self-love, Marxist joy, and dictatorial power. How terribly sad for you!
Shipwreckedcrew (@shipwreckedcrew) ~ That's called a non-confession confession. He's a woman beater.
Savannah (@BasedSavannah) ~ Doug didn’t deny because he knows video evidence exists. It’s coming.
Florida Dad (@FloridadadD) ~ I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a question, couched with more outs, than from that partisan abomination of mouth diarrhea.
Major Churchill (@MajorChurchill) ~ The irony of @Morning_Joe conducting the interview is breath taking.
Gillys cool dad (@daddyshanec) ~ A real journalist would have asked a follow up question - “So, you don’t deny it?”
Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) ~ Well, Joe Scarborough didn't want to get slapped ... so he didn't press him on it.
Stop Socialist Tyranny (@endlibtyranny) ~ Interesting strategy, Doug. You'd think a lawyer would know that "distraction" doesn't mean innocence. Accountability isn't optional, young man! But hey, we're just supposed to look past it, right?
We're too close to the election to deal with "distractions."
